Old Basing Village Carnival

I know, I said I was cutting back a bit but just wanted you to share yesterday - but put your waterproofs and warm clothes on first - such a shame about the foul weather but we still had a fun time!

A lovely Hampshire Shire horse, pausing for a rest - and it also left (err) plenty of 'rose manure'.

A tiny little American Kestrel, absolutely no weight to it at all - huge happy eyes and apparently as tame as can be in the home and loves watching TV on the owners' shoulders!

Having a little stretch of the wings as these birds just love to 'hover' - see, no need for even a glove :)

Archery - the 'chaps' looking for overshot arrows in the undergrowth!

I just like this as it shows all the lovely colours of the 'fletchings' - feathers in 'old speak'.

A lovely day, despite the weather - brilliant people and such a great community. Where else would you get a cider stall trading a few bottles (which we gleefully consumed) in exchange for a 'have a go' on the archery - hic?!

ah so glad you are smelling the roses Di! and pass some of the manure downunder :D ah well maybe not..So agree with your post below and love the Th die you managed to acquire, see one good turn does deserve another, well done! Shaz in Oz.x

Looks like a fun day out Miss.Now then. I am not shovelling out for Mrs A's shire horse nor Sandra's Kestrel. I have enough s**t to contend with housekeeping for the Girls and my day job!However, let me have a go on those bows and arrows please! I was good at that and javelin when I were a lass!Hugsxx

PS I am also good with a shotgun! My neighbour is afraid to come up our lane when he hears mine going off! I have a particular aim if you know what I mean!x

Ooh a shire horse in the playground! Now there's a thought. Love that little kestral and I would love to have a go at archery, really would. Quite agree with your views on blogging every day, or making something every day, it becomes too much. I had a 10 day break in between posts and missed woyww last week. Just had too much going on, and Darnell is sooo right, definitely LITS.

I don't normally wear a flower in my hair ...

..........just when I find one decorating a cocktail!

Welcome to my little workshop

I'm Diane (Di to most people), retired and I live in Hampshire, UK. The name Pixie's Crafty Workshop came about because my 'in-house critic' refers to 'The pixie being hard at work' whenever I'm playing with paper or other crafty stuff. And he's right, it's mostly when I should be doing other things :) I've always loved paper crafting - especially using scissors. Aged five and laid up with measles, in a fit of boredom I chopped my fringe right off! If it can be trimmed, then I'll trim it!
